Cow sheds, farm house and stables- A brilliant time had at the farm!

Today Year 1 walked to Maiden Castle Farm. We had an eventful walk as the sheep followed us up the track! It was brilliant to see over 200 sheep trot past us. Once on the farm we looked at the different types of homes. We started with Hazel's farm house and then compared this to the cow shed and the stables. We decided that we all need a roof, bedding, food and water.

Year 1 had lots of questions about the farm animals, especially the cows. I wonder if any of the children can remember why the cows have 2 tags in their ears?

 

When we were at the farm Hazel had the first batch of honeycomb delivered. The children got to see what bees produce in their homes.

 

Thank you to all the adults that helped with the trip today. We would like to give everyone an opportunity to come on school trips so please let me know if you are free on our next trip (21st October- Poundbury)
